Projects (2023-2024)

Projects with activities I am currently involved

ECB: Cyber resilience among financial market infrastructures

More ...

Participant (expert consultant)
Coordination: ECB (European Central Bank)
Funding: EU/ECB Grant
The activities cover how to set rules and best practices with the aim of ensuring that these infrastructures have a high level of cyber resilience. As part of this, the ECB has developed a European framework for ethical hacking to be used by financial companies or organisations to be certified to attempt to hack its systems in line with the guidance provided in the framework in order to test their resilience and identify weaknesses and to conduct vulnerability assessment.
